IRVINE, Calif.(April 19, 2010) – 25 year-old Kyle Cattanach drove the #88 Superior Crankshaft/CP Piston Chevrolet to a sixth place finish in Saturday night’s “Citizens Bank 135”at Orange Show Speedway in San Bernadino, Calif. His finish moved him into fourth place in the 2010 SRL SPEARS Southwest Tour Series standings.

The weekend of activities on the tight quarter-mile asphalt bullring began with practice on Friday evening with Cattanach ending his busy day of practice fifth quick on the board.

On Saturday, before a large turnout of Superior Crankshaft employees and other associate sponsorship guests, Cattanach qualified second fastest. He missed the pole position by just .036 seconds.

“It was great to see Kyle qualify and run so well this weekend in Superior Crankshaft’s backyard,” Superior Crankshaft CEO Cheryl Archer said.

Cattanach rolled off of the grid fifth after the invert in his Mike Naake-led Motorway Motorsports entry. Cattanach ran laps consistently as fast as the leaders early in the race but the handling started to go away about midway thru the event.

“The car was fast. We just did not think we would have the long green flag runs that developed,” Cattanach said.

Despite a loose racecar, Cattanach maintained fifth place all the way through lap 82 before falling to sixth.

With a strong sixth and ninth place finish to open up his 2010 SRL campaign, Cattanach is fourth in the series points standings. He is just 37 points out of second place as the series will head into Las Vegas on May 8.

“I am very pleased that we are running so strong,” Motorsports Marketing Manager Marty Melo said. “We still have small improvements to make within the program but with this team and driver the sky is the limit.”

EUREKA, CALIFORNIA (April 21, 2010) – 13 year-old Brandon White of Eureka, Calif. led all 15 laps to win Saturday night’s USAC Young Gun feature at Stockton 99 Speedway in Stockton, Calif.

White is one of the youngest members of the Ron Sutton’s Winner’s Circle program and drives with sponsorship from Northcoast Lighting and Electric. His win allowed Ron Sutton’s Winner’s Circle to sweep both the USAC Young Gun and Focus Midget features for the night at the popular central valley speedway.

White qualified fourth fastest and also finished fourth in his dash race. In the feature, White would to have to contend with a trio of talented RSWC drivers including Cody Thompson and Courtney Atkinson who were making their USAC debuts.

White and sophomore RSWC racer Keegan Walmer paced the field throughout all 15 laps of competition, showcasing their abilities but also their experience level in the cars. Midway, Walmer passed White for the lead coming off of turn four, but it was short lived, as White put a cross under move on him to retake the lead before the stripe.

The feature win for White was a popular one for a partial Northern California crowd. Saturday’s events marked the first Northern California appearance for USAC Ford Focus cars after three early races in the Southwestern United States.

White is racing in the USAC Pavement Young Guns Focus Midget series in three regions for 2010, including the SoCal, NorCal and Western series.  He leads the early championship points standings in all three.

“Brandon’s development in just a few races last season was clearly evident tonight,” Driver Coach Ron Sutton said. “Even with his young age, he is proving to all of us that he is a winner. He’s ready to make the leap into the full Focus ranks soon!”
